FROM THE SAND HILL COLLECTION. This is a very high end GEM example of this low mintage Civil War date "trime." Only 12,000 were struck and the present coin, housed in an old green tag PCGS holder, has a distinctive, vibrant, flashy, fully Prooflike luster that blazes with a dramatic effect. Tinges of the slightest rose and gold iridescent toning are dusted over the intensely reflective surfaces. Both sides are razor sharp in strike. A few scattered ticks are noted under the use of a strong glass, but most blend into the mint made die clash marks, so they do not detract from a superior eye appeal. PCGS 18, NGC 11, CAC 4. The last PCGS/CAC example to sell in auction brought $5,288 in August 2013. You know that the quality here will make this coin sell for a very strong premium bid. Cert. Number 9786240 PCGS # 3684
